WASHINGTON, D. c., March H. 1887.
The now senior Senator from Virginia,
Mr.. Riddleberger, left here Tor his homo
last Saturday night. In the general change
of seats incident to new Congress Mr..
Riddleberger didn't change his. His pres
ent seat is now next to aud right IN front oil

republican side of the Senate. The seat CT
Mr.. Daniel tho junior senator, ia on the ex-
treme right Of tie outer row on the demo
cratic side. During conversation between
a democratic and a republican Nirginian, in
the lobby Of one of the large hotels here to-
day, on the probable future course OF MIR.
Riddleberger in the Senate. the democrat
remarked that if Virginia should go demo.
cratic at next falls election Mr.. Riddleber-
ger, who was not particularly enamored OF
any of the Senate's present officers, might
please himself by voting against them. To
this the republican replied that knowing his
fate in case of republican success at the
election referred to, from the enmty Of
General Malone, Mr. Riddleberger would
probably be more disposed in that event to
suit himself than if the democrats were to
succeed. From this it would appear that
to some people, at least, Mr.. Riddleberger
seems to be between the devil and deep
sea.
1t is said here by congressman still re-
naming in the city that the President, who
until recently has maintained that one
branch of the government should not at
tempt to influence any other branch, deviat-
ed from that course on the dependent pen
sions bill, and used all the influence it was
possible for him to exert to have his veto
of that bill sustained and to show the
strength Of that influence it is only necessa-
~ to recall the fact that though it was pass
ed by more than two-thrds majority, it
lacked a large number of the votes requisite
to pass it over his veto.
Senator Edmunds is still here, and is in
attendance upon the session OF the .. S.
Supreme Court. He does not deny that in
a recent interview he said that between the
two evils, Cleveland and Blaine, the mug
wumps would stand by the former, as they
did before. From this it is evident that Mr..
Edmuuds has neither forgiven nor forgotten
Mr.. Blaine for rejecting his protiered hand
at the Arthur funeral.
The rumor that Mr. Carlisle will be APP.
pointed Secretary of the Treasury is again
revived, and is strengthened by the ex

THE BOOM Alexandria has got should be
assisted by every possible means the city
has at its disposal. Among the most ell
fective of such means are low taxes, and
cheap gas aud water The city fathers,
therefore, should coufne the municipal ex-
pense account to the lowest practical limit,
SO that taxes and the price of gas may be
reduced, and the water company should re-
collect that the lower the rents the more
the consumers. The superintendent OF
police ALEC should see that the city ordinance
respecting the sidewalks be observed, as
nothing is more likely to cool the ardol OF
prospective settler or investor than STUN
ole or splashed shoes caused by defective
pavements.

of all the hotel registers has failed to discover
the presence of such officer in Baltimore,

In a faint yet subtle tide;
Fragrant breath Of roses sleeping
Left her still unsatisied.

Grieved the plaintive nightingale;
Yet she coldly, half resenting,
Listened listless to his tale.
Though a night such peace possessing
Should all captiousness disarm,
